1t docs not appear, however, that the decision
Of the Canadian court in this case is unjust
Rather il is inevitable in the circumstances
Any other position would result in exposing the
Canadian marriage laws to notification by any
INSCRIPTIONS man or woman who chose 10
cross the frontier and get divorce in an Ameri-
can State
Canada, however, cannot protect herself with
out incidentally injuring individuals. Thus
in the instance cited the Canadian wife Is clearly
put in very hard position being left neither
wife nor widow. Her husband has married
again, but this she cannot do. because it IS
held that she is already married. Yet II tho
States could protect themselves against one an
other, this is what must long ago have resulted
from the loose divorce laws of some Western
States. The necessity Of generally recognizing
the divorce laws Of other States has led TO
much cruelty and bascness, and the operation
of tho laws has virtually subjected all the
States to the low standard of the most lax ones.
II is true that the enactment of National Ut
yorce law would not necessarily be followed by
Canadian recognition Of such law, but II 1t
was a conservative measure there can be
little doubt that our neighbors would eventually
sec their interest in recognizing its validity.
or such recognition might be obtained through
treaty stipulation. AS it is, the want OF uni
formity and Of high standard produces much
mischief and no compromising good.

TIGOR IN THE MAYORS OFFICE

Mayor Hewitt never lacked the gift Of forci-
bic expression. 1t has been an element of his
reputation that he has always known how 10
put his views and opinions in coscnt and
earnest way. Since he abandoned that career
which he has described, quite modcetly, per
haps, as nearly useless and has given his tai
cnts to the administration of the affairs of his
native city, he has done much TO attract tho
public attention to his skill in saying with q
healthy energy whatever he has had occasion
TO say. If the people could only hide them
selves under the chairs and tables in tho
Mayors Office and listen to Mr. Hewitt 4
casual observations on men and things, we
fancy that they would go off vastly entertained
and disposed to think they had witnessed what
was quite as good as a circus.
Some inkling of the pleasure unhappily de-
MED to the public generally may be caught
from per1lsal of the Mayors letters. In these
days of FREELY utterances from public men.
some Of which mean about as much as an an.
Gent hieroglyphic inscription, the Mayors
letters are peculiarly refreshing They have
the virtue Of coming from a man who means
Just what he says and who says just what he
means and who doesn't care a copper who
gets hit by the explosion vigorous and di-
rect treatment of the abuses which weaken
and scandalize the public service in this city
has long been sadly needed. Mayor Hewitts
method is the right method. 1t ac-
complisbes no earthly good for an eXecu-
tive officer to issue pompous manifestoes call
ing upon the officers Of the law to do their
duty as BELTS men to whom the people have
ntrusted their confidence. The ward poll
ticians whom Tammany and the County De
mocracy have thrust into Office regard such
Offering gencraltics with good -humored con-
tempt. But when they are jcrked by the jacket
and confronted with specific acts Of miscon-
duct, when they are sternly called to account
for definite derelictions, they are quick to get
down from their high horse When they are
sharply asked why they did this and why they
failed to do that and are hidden to understand
that II they don't look sharp they will find
themselves pitched out Of office, the effect is
highly gratifying to the taxpayers,
The Mayor has started off right well in cut

weeds that grow so thckly on and in the

We hope he doesn't intend to stop. He should
follow up his vigorous letter writing with an
even more vigorous action whenever and
wherever 1t is justified. The opportunities

of greater care, and without hesitation gave the
order that the chief =" boodler" be kept away
from his home and in strict confinement. Ii a
plan for escape was arranged, it shows that the
defence have little hope of getting their client

tically all in. Only half-hour more will be
occupied by the prosecution. The precautions
taken by the authorities are doubtless wise.

THE BROOKLYN MAYORALTY.

Talk about candidates for Mayor in Brooklyn
is beginning in earnest especially on the Dem
Ocratic side. The Democrats have all the
offices and all the patronage now and will
make desperate attempt to keep them. Mayor
Whitney is anxious for a denomination, but
has no chance of obtaining it. He has been a
subservient tool in the hands Of the Democratic
ring, but has left the impression of being a
weak and incompetent man. Various other
Democrats are pushing their claims for tho
nomination and organizing booms, all of which
can avail little since Boss McLaughlin's
power is still supreme. The next Democratic
City Convention, like that of two years ago, will
merely record the will of one man. Preliminary
canvasslng on the part of Democrats can be
set down, therefore, as Of small account.
The Republicans of Brooklyn have 1t in their
power to achieve success. They can do this
by wise counsels, by harmony of action and
by putting forward the right sort Of candidate
There are many Democrats who are weary Of
McLaughlin's rule and who will labor zealously
for the defeat Of his representative for Mayor.
provided man is nominated by the Republi
cans who shall be worthy Of their support The
Republican candidate must be citizen Of high
standing, of unimpeachabe character Of broad
views and one who commands the confidence
and respect of all who know him or know Of
him. Such a candidate can send "BoSs"
MoLaughlin's man to the wall.

well as the French stage-in tragedy IL hes q
comparatively minor place.
The statement has been necessarily made, ana
for 80 long time that at last 1t has acquired the
authority of longevity that French dramatic ideas
and French actors arc invariably and necessarily
better then English ideas and English actors. This,
however is not the fact The French language has no
tragedy worthy of the name. and the art OF tragic
acting Is unknown to the French stage The French
actors, when good ones, excel In comedy but
many French actors arc exceedingly tedious and
tiresomc, and they are So because they behttle
great sub ects by petty treatment of them and
becausc they place great stress upon tring details
and call 1t nature Nine. Sarah Bernhardt,

CANADA AND AMERICAN DIVORCES.

A recent Canadian decision illustrates anew
the difficulties inseparable from diversity Of
marriage laws among neighboring States. A
compile were married in Canada. After some
time they quarreled and separated, the hush and
coming to the United States In Massachusetts
he applied for divorce on the ground of de-
sertion and obtained it. Then he married
again. His first wife. learning what had hap
pened, applied for divorce to tho Canadian
court The latter has now decided that she
cannot have it because the Massachusetts, d.
vorce cannot be recognized by the Canadian
tribunals. The result is that the poor woman
finds herself married to a man who has another
wife, and he, should he return to Canada
would still be her husband and might be liable
to arrest and punishment for bigamy, and In
any case his children by the second wife would
be Legitimate in Canada, while the second
wife herself could have no legal status there.

After the great cathedral is built the question
of who first conceived the idea will perhaps be
sometimes asked. An article printed on another
page makes it appear that to Bishop Horatio
Potter the conception of the scheme Is probably
to be attributed. II it is carried to completion,
as now seems likely, to Bishop Henry G. Potter
will be due the credit of bringing 1t before the
public at such time and in such way as to
make its consummation comparatively easy.

Jubilee week with all the attendant stir and
excitement is over, and London is probably not
sorry. Everybody is agreed that it has been a
huge success. Our London correspondent gives
large share of his cable letter to various odds
and ends of the celebration. One class of men
in London who rejoice that the strain is ended,
he says, are the police. They certainly did ex-
cellent work, though many of them obtained
scarcely any sleep for three days. Much credit
is due to the members of the force and to Sir
Charles Warren for the admirable order that
was maintained. An incident of interest to
Americans in connection with the general Jubi-
lee was the first dinner of the Association Of
Foreign Consuls at which Consul General
Waller had the place of honor and made a CAPT
tai speech.
